Micheladas in the afternoon
Lie on the couch in a rented room
Watching Jeopardy without the sound
It's easy to stay down
Quick mistakes and long goodbyes
Horrible truths and necessary lies
I caught a train that was backwards-bound
It's easy to stay down
Stay down
Til your mind has been cleared
And your trail can't be found
Stay down
With your eye to the sky
And your ear to the ground
Down by the pool with all my brand-new friends
Rewriting letters that I'll never send
Declining invitations into town
It's easy to stay down
Slowly admit that you have had your fun
The girl you loved and every word you sung
All the profane that you thought profound
It's time now to stay down
Stay down
Til the smoke has been cleared
And your name can't be found
Stay down
With your head in the clouds
And your eyes to the ground
Feel the sting of the final blow
What could've been, you don't care or know
Don't try to go another round
Stay down
